Sorry, I should have think to invite you too :( > I also think we should have some kind of a list of geographical and > linguistic areas where we could be present or more present; this would > lead the way to new Regional Groups as well. Yes, this is why I have asked the existing RG to list them on the wiki, it will help to see where we can try to bring more activity. On this side also, we could may be think of a kind of LDAP directory where we can find all members, there location and how to join them. For example, if I happen to travel to Spain or Italy and have the opportunity to meet or get in contact with members of this group, I would be very happy :) Also, from the discussion we had yesterday and Louis questions, do you think that a page about NGO settings could be helpful? For example, listing ideas of revenues stream or things to do and/or avoid. I do not have the log from yesterday, but if you think it's helpful, I'll begin the page with what was said yesterday when the log will be available.
